Software built with aura

We design and build apps and websites with care.

Pinxaura is a small studio making mobile apps, websites and web apps for companies. The name means paint with aura: we treat each project like a canvas, and we want the finished work to feel like the company behind it.

Why we do this

Every company has an aura, the feeling people get the first time they meet you. Most software loses it. We build apps and websites that keep it, so the first tap feels like walking into your shop.

(03) Process

How a project runs

You see working software every week, so there are no surprises at the end.

  1. Step 01

    Talk

    A free call about your business, your customers and what you want the product to do. We follow up with a written scope, timeline and fixed price.

  2. Step 02

    Sketch

    Wireframes first, then a clickable prototype in your brand. You try it on your own phone and we adjust until it feels right.

  3. Step 03

    Build

    We build in short rounds and send you a working version every week to test.

  4. Step 04

    Launch

    Testing on real devices, App Store and Google Play submission, domain and hosting, and analytics from day one.

  5. Step 05

    Look after it

    Updates, fixes and new features based on how people actually use it.

(04) Working with us

What you can expect

A

The same people, start to finish

Whoever designs your product also builds it, so nothing gets lost between a mockup and the real thing.

B

A demo every week

You can change direction early, while changes are still cheap.

C

You own it

Code, designs, accounts and data are in your name from day one. No lock-in.

D

Plain tools

We use common, well-supported technology, so any good developer can work on it later.

(06) Questions

Asked often

Something else? Just ask.

How much does an app or website cost?

It depends on what it needs to do. A company website and a mobile app with payments and accounts are very different jobs. After a free call we send a written scope with a fixed price, so you know the full cost before any work starts.

How long does it take?

A website usually takes a few weeks. A first version of a mobile app usually takes a few months. Your proposal includes a week-by-week timeline.

Do you build for iPhone and Android?

Yes. We usually use React Native, which gives you both apps from one codebase, so it costs less to build and update. When a project needs it, we write native iOS code in Swift.

Will I own the code?

Yes. The code, designs, store accounts, domain and data belong to your company. We set everything up in your name.

What happens after launch?

Apps need ongoing care: system updates, security patches, fixes and new features. We offer a monthly care plan, or we can hand everything to your own team with documentation.

I only have an idea. Is that enough?

Yes. A lot of projects start that way. We'll help you shape it and work out the smallest version worth launching first.
